The lava bubbled and hissed. Lava slimes were morphing and shifting within the gooey pool of molten stone, absorbing the energy and growing by the second.

Marven was aware of Neave’s martial prowess and had seen him fight someone on the third step of the platinum path.
However… That was with his overwhelming advantage of well over a dozen spirit powers...

It was hard to say what his age really was, to begin with.
